Paramount Presents

Just wondering if these are US exclusives? I've been wanting to buy The Court Jester but haven't seen it on any Canadian sites.

Is it because of the digital codes?

I guess I could order it from WOW HD.

More than likely just a cost issue - duplication of the slipcovers/foldout packaging to make them bilingual for a small market like Canada is too expensive. So therefore, no Canadian release.

You could write Amazon's Jeff Bezos at jeff@amazon.com about Amazon Canada possibly importing them. He won't write back, but a local higher-up will.

I ordered The Haunting Paramount Presents release from Amazon.com to Canada, and got the disc itself, in a plastic bag, with a "New Item" barcode sticker on it. It didn't have the nice box and artwork pictured on Amazon. I wonder if the shipper to Canada Pitney Bowes damaged or discarded the nice Paramount Presents packaging at their shipping centre, or if that's how Amazon US is sending them to Canada? Something to do with Covid-safety these days? I arranged with them to send a replacement with proper packaging.



$22.99 + $9.98 shipping = $32.97 USD ($43.18 CAD) for a disc alone.

Any idea what the deal is with these releases on Amazon.ca?

Pretty in Pink: https://www.amazon.ca/Pretty-in-Pink...A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB

Roman Holiday: https://www.amazon.ca/Roman-Holiday-...A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB

Trading Places: https://www.amazon.ca/Trading-Places...inkCode=xm2&m=

Seem likely that these would have the same transfers as the Paramount Presents releases?

Same discs as Paramount Presents line. Different packaging in Canada. No slipcovers, just regular ol' blu-ray cases.

That explains why Trading Places was so expensive at Wal-Mart compared to Planes, Trains and Automobiles!

Sometimes the Paramount titles pop-up on eBay from some Canadian sellers for the cheap. I keep a few searches saved there to see if I get lucky.

A few of us in the Canadian Deals forum were able to grab Golden Child and Trading Places for $10 a pop.

Has anyone purchased any Paramount Presents titles from blowitoutahere on eBay? I just purchased Ordinary People and First Wives Club and was wondering if they will come with slipcovers. Ordinary People was released on March 29 and First Wives Club on June 28. I'm not sure how big the original pressing is and how quickly they sell out. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
